Hooray, that is great news! I love the Earth Essentials paper towels myself. Hopefully this means I will be seeing them soon at my CVS. Thanks for the update, Carol!

I first posted on Oct 18th that my CVS didn’t have them. Guess who has them now. I got one today when I picked up some RX’s. Now to remember the bags and the tag on the same trip.
If you buy one of CVS’s reusable bags for $.99, there is a tag/label on there with a $.50 coupon off of their Earth Essentials products which the paper towels and Toilet Paper big bundles are on sale for $5.00 this week. I like the TP because they are double rolls and thin paper to flow through the plumbing easier.
Thanks for all the time you use to keep this site going.

Hey, I read in an article that all stores should have them by the end of November, so keep a look-out! Mine had them this week though, so I was excited. They also said in the article that a portion of the money from this will be donated, but was very vague on details. Hope this helps!

Hi Carol,
I have yet to see them at my CVS as well. Hopefully it is something they are rolling out nationwide and we will all see them soon in our stores!

You are totally right though, saving one more plastic bag is the best credit. I agree!

I live in SW Indiana and showed your post to my local CVS and they hadn’t even heard of it as something new coming.

I have the reusable bags and would love to get credit for using them. But I guess the best credit is knowing I am saving one more plastic bag from ending up in the landfill.

Thank You very much for helping save money

That’s a good question, Corrin. I am actually not sure, but it should be!
